The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 99 Half-step True Essence
"In the past year and a half, I have had many opportunities. Not only has my sword intent been raised to 70%, but my cultivation has also entered the late Baoyuan realm. In addition, I have completely perfected the Gufeng Juesha and the Tiansuiyun that has been integrated into the Five Styles of Jingyun Sword Technique, as well as the Zhuxin Yijian and the true essence that has been tempered from the highest level of Taixuan Gong. My strength has increased dramatically to a terrifying level. As for the Little Blood Demon Disintegration Technique, it is better not to use it. Not to mention that this is the martial arts of the Blood Demon Master and will be coveted by others, even during the competition, I am not allowed to take elixirs and spiritual herbs. It is still too dangerous to use it without sufficient blood and energy support."

The figure in blue was naturally Ye Chen. Since the end of the gathering in Sanjiang City, he had basically found Sheep Head Mountain just like in the original novel, and obtained the secret method of enhancing lightness skills, the Three Mysterious Secrets of Floating, the Void-Breaking Finger, the Three Pills of Essence, Energy and Spirit, and other opportunities, and then bought the sword-shaped grass at the auction in Jinding City.

Then, just like in the original novel, he practiced Taixuan Gong to the highest level, entered the late Baoyuan Realm, and integrated the Thirteen Swords of Gufeng and the Jingyun Sword Technique to create the perfect Gufeng Juesha, which was integrated into the four-style Tiansuiyun, as well as the fusion killing move of Gufeng Juesha and Lianxin Yijian, the Zhuxin Yijian.

This is definitely a huge improvement.

"I just don't know how strong that person is."

In Ye Chen's mind, there are only two people in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition who are most worthy of his attention. One is Sikong Sheng from the previous session, and the other is Gu Yuan, who has been well-known since he traveled through time.

He really wanted to know who was stronger, him or these two people.

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure came rushing towards him from a distance.

The two men soon clashed with each other, but the battle ended quickly as it began. Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions and was just a pure fighting maniac, Ye Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and headed straight for the Qianlong Ancient Land.

Instead, that person set his sights on another target. As luck would have it, the target was a powerful late-stage Star Realm expert who had hidden his cultivation level. As a result, he was tortured to death.

At the same time, in the western part of the Black Dragon Empire.

This is a hot volcanic area.

In the central area, crimson palaces stand around.

And in the largest volcano, the whole body is covered with golden magma.

As one of the three sixth-grade sects in the Black Dragon Empire, the Fire Spirit Palace is located in a palace dozens of miles in radius located on the magma.

There were only two people standing in the hall.

"Chihuo, it is widely rumored that Gu Yuan's strength has surpassed yours and is strong enough to compete with Sikong Sheng. You were the second on the Potential Dragon Ranking last time. What do you think this time?"

The Lord of the Fire Spirit Hall, wearing a scarlet-gold robe, sat on a huge chair, domineering and calm.

"I, the Fire Spirit Prince, will not lose a second time. As for Gu Yuan, he only defeated those two arrogant losers, Lin Yun and Mo Yan. I will let him see the difference."

Yan Chihuo sneered, and his words did not take Gu Yuan seriously at all.

"Very good, first on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, supreme, and you have gained the most luck. If you can get first place, you will deserve the title of Fire Spirit Prince."

The master of the Fire Spirit Hall was very pleased.

Although Gu Yuan has talent, he is too young after all. Moreover, he has only started to practice top-level Earth-level skills more than a year ago. The Potential Dragon Ranking is about to begin. Even if he has great talent, how deep can he improve his skills?

It would be great if you could reach the eighth or ninth level and recover your peak combat power.

This is also the reason why he believes that his eldest disciple has a higher chance of winning.

"Daoxuan, your Merciless Art has been practiced to the tenth level, and your Merciless Sword Intent has also reached 60% maturity. You are a rare prodigy in the Merciless Sect in hundreds of years, but don't be careless. I heard that Gu Yuan had already reached 60% of his Sword Intent when he was in the Ghost Service Land. He is a strong opponent for you in this Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition."

On the Qianren Cliff, the leader of the Wuqing Sect stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering and his temperament extraordinary.

Li Daoxuan said firmly: "Master, rest assured, I won't let you down." At the same time, he said secretly in his heart, Gu Yuan, now my sword intent has reached 60%. If your sword intent has not made much progress, let us compete to see whose swordsmanship level is higher.

Gu Yuan had no idea what the situation was like outside.

He is still in seclusion at this moment.

In the secret training room, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone platform.

The true Qi in the body was vibrating at a tiny frequency. With each vibration, the impurities in the true Qi would be reduced. Correspondingly, black fragments of light began to emanate from outside Gu Yuan's body.

As the frequency of oscillations gets faster and faster, the fragments of light become more and more numerous.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the shock dissipated and bits of light emanated from Gu Yuan's body, accounting for almost half of the total amount, indicating that the first stage of refining the true essence had been completed.

Now Gu Yuan's cultivation has reached the half-step true essence stage.

"It took more than three months, and the first refining of true essence is finally over. It will take some time to refine true essence for the second time, but by then, I should have entered the thirteenth level of Xuanyin Dafa."

With a sharp and burning breath, Gu Yuan naturally exuded the aura of a strong man.

This aura is weaker than that of a Xingji Realm warrior, but it is obviously different from that of a Baoyuan Realm warrior.

Gu Yuan stood up and struck the attack power test column with his sword.

The sword energy emitted by this sword finger was not transformed from the Shura Holy Fire, nor was it integrated with the sword intent. It was just an ordinary Xuanyin Demon Fire, but under the effect of the Half-Step True Essence, it was able to hit sixty-one swords.

This has far exceeded the scope of Baoyuan Realm warriors and has truly reached the Xingji Realm level.

"Before, I was still very weak. The difference between normal attack and limit attack was huge. Now the gap is narrowing. After the second refining of true essence is finished, there will be no limit attack."

Just half a step of true essence made Gu Yuan feel how powerful it was. Every inch of flesh and blood in his body became extremely tough under the tempering of half a step of true essence. It was hard to imagine how strong his flesh and blood would become after being tempered by true essence when he entered the Star Realm.

This would explain why the strong ones in the Star Realm could burn their true essence and double their combat power.

Without a strong enough body, it would be impossible to bear it.

"Counting it down, there are less than ten days left until the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition. It's time to come out." Gu Yuan will not forget this Hidden Dragon Ranking competition.

You should know that this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking competition is recognized as the most grand one, and the strength of the dragon vein energy is rare in a thousand years.

To advance into the realm of life and death, in addition to sufficient opportunity and talent, luck is also indispensable.

But you must not miss it.

call out!
The stone gate for cultivation opened automatically, and Gu Yuan stretched out his body, turning into a black airflow, and flew towards the main hall of the Feitian Demon Sect above like a beam of light.

The mountain that reaches into the sky is extremely high and is immersed in the thick clouds. The majestic and towering main hall of the Flying Demon Sect is located on the top of the mountain.
